Please don't delay care. Head and neck cancer is time-sensitive. If you have symptoms or a suspected diagnosis, see a doctor promptly for assessment. This page is informational and does not replace advice from your treating physician. NexWell coordinates access to accredited specialists — it is not a substitute for diagnosis or emergency care.

FAQ

Head & neck cancer treatment — common questions

Who treats head and neck cancer at NexWell partner clinics?

NexWell coordinates head and neck cancer care with an experienced head & neck surgeon and oncologist and a multidisciplinary team at JCI-accredited Istanbul hospitals. Care is reviewed by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Levent Renda, an ENT, head & neck surgeon and oncologist. The right plan always depends on your diagnosis, stage, and overall health.

Should I travel abroad for cancer treatment?

Head and neck cancer is time-sensitive and complex, so it is essential not to delay care and to have a proper diagnosis (biopsy, imaging, staging). Some international patients choose Turkey for access to experienced head & neck surgeons, robotic surgery, and accredited multidisciplinary care at a lower cost. Whether travel is appropriate depends entirely on your specific case — NexWell can arrange a remote review of your records to advise honestly.

What does treatment involve?

Head and neck cancer care is multidisciplinary and may combine surgery, radiotherapy, and medical oncology depending on the type and stage. Modern techniques include robotic (da Vinci / TORS) and minimally invasive surgery, reconstruction, and function preservation (speech and swallowing). Your treatment plan is determined after full diagnosis and team review.

How much does head and neck cancer treatment cost in Turkey?

Cost depends heavily on the diagnosis, stage, and combination of treatments required, so a personalised quote follows a case review — not a fixed price. Turkey generally offers accredited care at a lower cost than the UK, US, or much of Europe, but for cancer the priority is the right team and plan, not price alone.

How do I get a case review?
